A INOVAÇÃO NO PROCESSO JUDICIAL ELETRÔNICO DA BAHIA PARA ADMINISTRAÇÃO DA JUSTIÇA BRASILEIRA

Resumo: A tecnologia vem determinando uma mudança de rumo na área cultural, econômica e social na sociedade contemporânea. As mudanças ocorridas têm provocado grandes alterações em diversas áreas e organizações. O Poder Judiciário é uma instituição que sofre influência dessas mudanças e precisa se aprimorar administrativamente para atuar de uma forma eficaz perante a sociedade brasileira. Nesse passo, foi criado o Conselho Nacional de Justiça, uma instituição de caráter nacional, incumbido de aperfeiçoar o sistema judiciário brasileiro. Criou-se uma nova perspectiva para a Justiça com a criação de diretrizes e atuação em nível nacional. Diante de diversas atuações desse órgão, o presente trabalho retrata o processo judicial eletrônico e as mudanças oriundas da nova forma eletrônica de se administrar a Justiça. Procura-se demonstrar as diversas modificações advindas dessa ferramenta tecnológica no aspecto físico, funcional, operações de rotina, dentre outros. O trabalho vai mais além e demonstra como ferramentas tecnológicas, em especial data mining e business intelligence, podem, em trabalho conjunto com o PJe, aprimorar o trabalho da Justiça e fornecer subsídios para a tomada de decisão pelo gestor administrativo judicial através de indicadores de desempenho. Palavras-chave: Administração da Justiça.

The changes occurred have caused major transformations in various areas and organizations. The judiciary is an institution that has been influenced by these changes and it needs to enhance administratively to act in an effective manner before the Brazilian society. In accordance with this purpose, the National Council of Justice was created, a national character institution mandated to improve the Brazilian judicial system. As result of this breakthrough, a new perspective emerged for Justice with the creation of guidelines and operates at national level. Therefore, this work depicts the electronic judicial process and the changes being arisen from the new electronic way of administrating justice. Yet it seeks to reveal the various changes arising from this technological tool to the physical, functional aspect, routine operations, amongst others. The work goes further and demonstrates how technological tools, especially data mining and business intelligence might work together with PJe, to enhance the work of the Justice and provide information required for decision making by the judicial administrative manager through key performance indicators.Keywords: Administration of Justice.

Crises social sensing: Longitudinal monitoring of social perceptions of systemic risk during public health crisis

Monitoring how different people – as ‘social sensors’ – evaluate and respond to crisis such as pandemics, allows tailoring crisis communication to the social perceptions of the situation, at different moments. To gather such evidence, we proposed a index of social perceptions of systemic risk (SPSR), as an indicator of a situational threat compromising risks to physical health, psychological health, the economy, social relations, health system, and others. This indicator was the core of a social sensing approach applied to crisis situations, implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic through a content analysis of more than 130.000 public comments from Facebook™ users, in COVID-19 related publications. This content coding allowed creating a SPSR index monitored during a one-year descriptive longitudinal analysis. This index correlated with co-occurring events within the social system, namely epidemiological indicators across measurement cycles (e.g. new deaths; cumulative number of infection cases; Intensive Care Unit hospitalizations) and tended to reflect the epidemiological situation severity (e.g. with the highest level registered during the worst pandemic wave). However, discrepancies also occurred, with high SPSR registered in a low severity situation, i.e. low number of hospitalizations and deaths (e.g. school year beginning), or low SPSR in a high severity situation (e.g. 2nd pandemic wave during Christmas), showing other factors beyond the epidemiological situation contributing to the social perceptions. After each ‘crisis period’ with SPSR peaking, there was a ‘restoration period’, consistently decreasing towards average levels of the previous measurement cycle. This can either indicate social resilience (recovery and resources potentiation) or risk attenuation after a high-severity period. This study serves as preliminary proof of concept of a crises social sensing approach, enabling monitoring of social system dynamics for various crisis types, such as health crisis or the climate crisis.Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia - FCTinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Utilização do espermatócrito para estimar a concentração espermática no sêmen da piabanha (Brycon insignis)

The aim of this work was to determine the viability of spermatocrit use in Piabanha's sperm concentration estimation. Gametogenesis of piabanha Brycon insignis (n=29) was induced with crude pituitary extract of carp and semen was further collected. The spermatocrit was determined using cappilar tube micro-centrifuge. The sperm concentration was verified by counting in "Neubauer chamber", after dilution. The verified sperm concentration (mean±standard deviation) was 24,38±3,84x10(9) spermatozoa/mL, and the spermatocrit was 16,14±5,20%. The regression model: v = 14,01.10(9) + 0,6428.10(9).X was significant (P<0,01) and presented adjusted R² = 0,75. Thus, the estimation of sperm concentration using the spermatocrit is possible.O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar a viabilidade da utilização do espermatócrito para estimar a concentração espermática do sêmen de piabanha. Os exemplares (n=29) de piabanha Brycon insignis foram hipofisados, sendo posteriormente realizada a coleta de sêmen. O espermatócrito foi determinado utilizando-se micro-centrífuga de tubos capilares. A concentração espermática foi verificada por contagem em câmara de Neubauer, após diluição. A concentração espermática verificada (média±desvio padrão) foi de 24,38 ± 3,84 x 10(9) espermatozóides / mL, e o espermatócrito foi de 16,14±5,20%. A equação de regressão: v = 14,01.10(9) + 0,6428.10(9).X foi significativa (P<0,01) e apresentou R² ajustado = 0,75. Deste modo, é possível estimar a concentração através da determinação do espermatócrito

SARS-CoV-2 introductions and early dynamics of the epidemic in Portugal

Genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in Portugal was rapidly implemented by the National Institute of Health in the early stages of the COVID-19 epidemic, in collaboration with more than 50 laboratories distributed nationwide. Methods By applying recent phylodynamic models that allow integration of individual-based travel history, we reconstructed and characterized the spatio-temporal dynamics of SARSCoV-2 introductions and early dissemination in Portugal. Results We detected at least 277 independent SARS-CoV-2 introductions, mostly from European countries (namely the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Italy, and Switzerland), which were consistent with the countries with the highest connectivity with Portugal. Although most introductions were estimated to have occurred during early March 2020, it is likely that SARS-CoV-2 was silently circulating in Portugal throughout February, before the first cases were confirmed. Conclusions Here we conclude that the earlier implementation of measures could have minimized the number of introductions and subsequent virus expansion in Portugal. This study lays the foundation for genomic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 in Portugal, and highlights the need for systematic and geographically-representative genomic surveillance.We gratefully acknowledge to Sara Hill and Nuno Faria (University of Oxford) and Joshua Quick and Nick Loman (University of Birmingham) for kindly providing us with the initial sets of Artic Network primers for NGS; Rafael Mamede (MRamirez team, IMM, Lisbon) for developing and sharing a bioinformatics script for sequence curation (https://github.com/rfm-targa/BioinfUtils); Philippe Lemey (KU Leuven) for providing guidance on the implementation of the phylodynamic models; Joshua L.
